Susie of Style Bubble recently posted<\/a> about the UK magazine market for teens; praising the rise of Company Magazine<\/a> and lamenting the U.K.\u2019s lack of Teen Vogue<\/a>. It led me to think about what I read as a teen. I had two subscriptions and waited impatiently for their arrival each month. I used to rip out the pages that inspired me and stick them all over my walls, much to my Mum\u2019s disgust. In a very compulsive fashion, I would cut neatly around the edges to placate my Mum a little and carefully arrange the blue tac on the back not to \u201cdamage the walls\u201d (my parents were obsessed with not ever having to replaster!)<\/p>\n

The two magazines were The Face and SKY Magazine (not the one that comes free with your TV subscription.) In fashion terms, The Face is remembered fondly. Kate Moss\u2019 iconic first cover and superb editorial by Corinne Day (posted about here<\/a> by Liberty London Girl.) Nick Knight\u2019s awe-inspiring shoot<\/a> with the Alexander McQueen\u2026the list goes on. But I ask myself, what about SKY Magazine?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAs I looked for covers for this post, I saw many were nude shots and not taken in an arty, creative way; think more \u201clad mag.\u201d I remember it fondly as being cool but do I remember it with a sense of misplaced nostalgia? As my parents forced me to get rid of all my magazines when they packed me off to university (most hideous trip to the recycling skip EVER) I don\u2019t have any copies to flick through. Do you remember SKY Magazine and what it was really like? Was it the epitome of cool that I remember or just a precursor to FHM?<\/p>\n
